What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks

Cotness: your questions answered
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

When to call us in Cotness
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- An untidy old seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
What to look for in a quote
- Aftercare advice
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How soon you can use it again
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Let steam out after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Prices and what affects them
We do not charge extra for travel to Cotness. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Why it’s worth resealing in Cotness
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
